No, but active genital herpes are sores, and if one is exposed to the AIDS virus with open sores, the virus has an easier time infecting the persons with ongoing herpes.... The AIDS virus can live outside the human body for only about 72 seconds, so it is a direct contact that is necessary for it to spread. Even the tiniest, slightest scrape on the penis or in the vagina during intercourse with one infected with aids will increase one's chances of acquiring it.

" Genital herpes, like other genital diseases that produce sores, increases a person’s risk of getting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS."
